Zhoukou Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning signal for high winds and a rain forecast at night, asking drivers and friends to pay attention to driving cautiously, slow down and slow down, prevent traffic accidents, and ensure safe travel.
First, the safety precautions for traveling in windy weather
1
Do a good pre-trip inspection
Before traveling, check in advance whether the sealing tape of the window has aging, degumming, cracking, when driving, close the window, skylight, if the air conditioner is only an internal circulation, do not exchange gas with the outside world.
2
Travel at the right speed and hold the steering wheel steady
When driving in a strong wind, you should slow down the speed appropriately, correctly identify the wind direction, hold the steering wheel, and prevent the driving route from being deviated by the wind. Pay attention to the lateral stability of the vehicle and minimize overtaking. If it is driven against the wind, it should be noted that the wind direction suddenly changes or the road has a large bend, and the wind resistance is suddenly reduced, which will make the speed increase suddenly. In driving, pedestrians should be prevented from suddenly running to the other side of the road when the vehicle is approaching in order to avoid the dust raised by the vehicle.
3
Turn on the small lights when turning around and honk the horn.
When you reach a bend, you should turn on the small headlights, if necessary, you can honk the horn to attract the attention of pedestrians and vehicles, travel slowly, and be ready to brake and stop at any time.
4
Drive at night with low beams on
When driving at night, anti-glare low beam lights should be used, and high beam lights should not be used, so as not to affect the line of sight due to the appearance of a blinding light curtain. At night, the line of sight is poor, but also pay attention to the obstacles that are blown down by the wind on the road to avoid accidents.
5
When the wind and sand are strong, the car is parked in the upper wind.
When the wind and sand are particularly large, the car should be parked in the wind on the road, the front of the car is turned back to the wind and sand, and the shutters are half closed to prevent fine sand particles from being sucked into the cylinder by the engine and accelerating the wear of the parts. Cargo vehicles should tie the tarpaulin on the car and fix the goods on the car; load light weight, large volume of materials, should stop to avoid the storm, so as not to let the vehicle be blown by the storm and leave the normal driving route.
6
Follow the car and maintain a safe distance.
On dusty roads, care should be taken to maintain a safe distance to prevent the dust raised by the vehicles in front of you from obstructing the line of sight.
7
In the case of non-motorized vehicles and motorcycles, the safety distance should be increased.
Bicycles, tricycles, motorcycles, etc. are subject to the action of wind and their stability deteriorates, and the safety distance should be increased when they meet.
8
Avoid the innermost lane and take the middle lane.
When driving on the road, try not to take the innermost lane, try to be in the middle lane, away from the middle buffer green belt.
9
Avoid large vehicles and avoid getting too close to them.
Try to avoid large vehicles, especially special vehicles such as trailers, as well as some ultra-high or ultra-long vehicles, in windy days, due to the high wind resistance coefficient, vehicles are easily blown back and forth by the wind, especially the goods placed on the vehicle, it is easy to blow off.
10
Park away from unsafe areas
In order to avoid the phenomenon of falling objects from high altitude and smashing cars, it is best to park away from buildings, fences, construction fences, billboards, and there is really no place to park as far as possible away from balconies and windows.
Second, when traveling on rainy days, what should we pay attention to?
1
Maintain a good view
Rainy days can see low, poor line of sight, but also prone to fog, in addition to cautious driving, to open the wiper in time, turn on the low beam and anti-fog lights.
The effect of the fog light on and not on can be clearly seen from the above figure, after turning on the fog light, you can clearly identify the vehicle in front of you at a distance, because the penetration and brightness of the fog light are very good, so you must turn on the fog light on rainy and foggy days.
2
Slow down the car
When the car is driving on this road, the rain will make the steering wheel "lighter" than usual, and the high-speed driving is very easy to deviate, and the driving speed in the rain is best not to exceed 30 kilometers or 40 kilometers per hour.
3
Away from big cars
The big car not only blocks the line of sight, so that you can't judge the condition of the road, but also the water mist splashed by the tires of the big car is easy to cover the windshield and make the car suffer.
4
Prevent wheels from sliding sideways
The braking performance of the car on rainy days becomes worse, it is easy to produce side slip, to balance the steering wheel with both hands, maintain a straight line and low speed, when you need to turn, you should slowly step on the brakes to prevent the tires from locking and causing the vehicle to slip.
5
When you meet pedestrians on the road, slow down and honk your horn and be patient
Driving on rainy days, you should pay attention to traffic dynamics at any time, press the horn more, and do not rush with pedestrians and bicycles in a hurry.
